Friday Reminder

The year is 2070. Flying cars exist. We've colonized Mars. Quantum computing powers everything. But the Linux kernel? Still not "vibe code." Some poor maintainer is getting a pull request rejected because Linus doesn't think their commit messages spark joy. 50 years from now and we'll still be using git, still dealing with legacy code from the 90s, and still arguing about tabs vs spaces. The more technology advances, the more kernel development stays exactly the same.

The meme shows the classic "Disaster Girl" format with GitHub labeled as the burning house while "LITERALLY EVERY SWE COMPANY" watches it burn. This is a savage reference to GitHub's recent outages and issues that have left software engineering teams unable to access their code repositories. Meanwhile, GitLab users are sitting back with smug satisfaction since their platform wasn't affected. It's basically the digital equivalent of watching your competitor's servers melt down while yours keep humming along perfectly. The schadenfreude is strong with this one!

Ah, the classic programmer's dilemma! When you refuse to share your code, it's never about greed—it's because your implementation is held together with duct tape, Stack Overflow snippets, and questionable variable names like temp_fix_delete_later_v3_FINAL . The shame is real when your elegant solution in theory turned into a horrifying Frankenstein's monster in execution. Every programmer knows that feeling when someone asks "Can I see your code?" and your fight-or-flight response kicks in faster than an infinite loop crashes your IDE.

Ah, the classic programming trivia game that's trolling newbies! The answer is obviously "Hello, world" (highlighted in green), but the joke's in the other options. "Git gud" is both a gaming taunt AND a version control pun. "Download Linux" is what every Stack Overflow answer suggests when you have a Windows problem. And "Error 404" is what your career becomes after forgetting a semicolon. The title "Git Gud" is extra spicy because it's telling beginners they need to master Git (arguably more terrifying than any algorithm).

SWEET MERCIFUL CODE GODS! The most powerful entity in software development isn't your tech lead—it's that desperate little feline begging for your approval! While you're drowning in 47 Jira tickets, this adorable catastrophe is just waiting for someone, ANYONE, to merge their changes into the sacred main branch. The sheer DRAMA of waiting for code review approval has literally transformed this developer into a pleading kitten. And honestly? Same. Nothing says "I've lost all dignity" quite like peeking over a chair asking for your pull request to be approved after you've spent three days refactoring that nightmare function everyone was too scared to touch! 🙀

Writing incomprehensible code isn't a bug—it's a feature. That senior dev who writes cryptic one-liners with zero comments? They're not sloppy; they're building their legend. Nothing says job security like being the only one who can decipher your own arcane syntax. Sure, your code review might be a disaster, but at least they'll remember your name when the production server catches fire at 3 AM and you're the only one who can fix it. Infamous is still famous in git blame.
